Its early, took me a minute... but that's

 

What do you do if you support Nader?

 

if you support Nader you probably can't use your headlights as it might drain the AA batteries running your vehicle.

 

Everytime I read the title to the thread I think "Group hug?"

 

You drive a Corvair, of course !

Or are all of you too young to remember how Nader made a name for himself?

 

I'll never understand the blind loyalty to GWB...

What is it that you guys think he's doing that's so great?
Have I missed something, or has this nation pretty much gone to He** in a handbasket since 2000? Oh, yes- I remember. You guys blame Clinton for that; Bush inhereted this mess.

I don't think Kerry's great either, but man- at least he's different.
Jobs are movign off-shore by the ship-load, massive layoffs on top of massive layoffs. People making $60,000 - 100,000 a year are forced to change careers, and take salary cuts to $28,000 - $40,000/year, and when they take those menial jobs- they are no longer "unemployed", but that somehow sounds good?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see where the masses are doing so well. I'm doing OK, but that has nothing to do with Dubya or Kerry. And, with a stroke of the pen, I'd be pan-handling too...

I don't see what's so great.... I say let's put Perot in office, whether he wants it, or not!

 

I will try to help you understand…

There is no “blind” loyalty to GWB, there is however the blind leading the blind when it comes to socialist liberals and Kerry…

Actually yes it is Clintons fault for a failing economy in 2000. I mean the man had been in office for 8 years, correct? Or am I missing something? What happen is Clinton with his economic policies, which basically screwed business and helped the useless and lazy helped to halt the growth in the market. This was, in large part, due to sucking more money from business which takes money away from investments in capital equipment, R&D and hiring new employees.

Yes Kerry is different and probably the first candidate for President who agrees with everybody and disagrees with everybody at the same time… ”I voted for the $87 billion to support our troops before I voted against it and to screw our troops…” Let’s not forget that Mr. John Flipper Kerry has completely agreed with the war in Iraq and would have done the same thing and is completely against this war in Iraq and would have never done it, he has stated we will stay as long as it takes to insure they are stable and that we will be pulling troops out ASAP if he is elected…

Yes, he is different…

You are correct, many jobs are going overseas and this is a little more complex so try to follow me. First and foremost we, yes most of us here have stated LOUDED to big business to MOVE those jobs overseas so we can continue to buy products as cheaply as possible.

The fact is, and disregard what liberals tell you, but the facts are you can NOT support paying the highest wages in the world, on average, and at the same time sale products for dirt cheap and stay competitive. So thank yourself, your neighbors and your fellow workers for a job well done in sending jobs overseas. American citizens asked for it and got it…

Taxes also helps to send the message to businesses to send more jobs overseas.

The masses are doing extremely well considering the BIG picture. You have to stop wearing blinders and listening to sound bites on TV from the liberals. First we had an economy going to the dumps (thanks Clinton) then due to very weak leadership under Clinton with terrorist it very well may have led to 9/11. 9/11 was an absolute devastating blow to this country and it really is amazing we did not go into a depression rather then a recession since the economy was already in the dumps and that is because we had a strong leader in the White House.

Now, President Bush is not the best thing since sliced bread but he is the best thing since President Reagan led this country and ended the cold war. President Bush has brought back the ***** America had with President Reagan and taken away the big wuss title we had while Clinton served…

Your President has done an excellent job holding this country together and this economy…

Can it be better then it is now? Absolutely if we get 4 more years with President Bush. If you really want to see a country going to hell in a hand basket place a vote for Kerry and watch us go backwards once again to a place known as “Pre-9/11”, economy going in the dumps and the title of big wuss country…

The decision is yours, will it be the right decision? America’s survival may depend on it…

 

I think it's a little more complicated than that; but, we have our own opinions. Too bad Nader isn't a better choice. We need a strong 3rd candidate.

I don't blame Clinton for the economy failing. When he was in office, there were more jobs than there were people. Now that he's gone, companies are laying off thousands upon thoussands, in every industry. Manufacturing, Retail, Telecommunications, Airline, etc... Clinton gave those companies tax breaks on their profits and assets to keep jobs in America, and to "create" jobs. That incentive is no longer there. And, aside from the American "consumer", it's the "investor" that's driving big business to make rash decisions- just so they'll show a profit for the quarter- and make the rich-richer...

On the same token, I don't credit Bush for making the country seem stronger militarily. He had little wiggle room in that aspect. Anyone on his position would have had to strike someone. You don't want to appear to be gun-shy in your first term, if you want a second term. I don't dislike Pres., I just don't think he's truly behind the wheel. It always struck me as odd that we picked up the same politcal agenda we had during B1, in B2.

The thing about Terrorists, and their multi-faceted organizations, is that there is really nothing to attack; little to retaliate against. It's like chasing a mosquito all over the house because he bit you. You may find and kill it, but then, there's 30 more waiting for you to let your guard down. 30 that didn't learn from what you just did to the other one.

Some (On this website only) try to put 9/11 around Clinton's neck; it's funny to me that within 24 hours of the events, that we had Zacarias (sp) Mousawi in custody... It stands to reason that somebody knew something on 9/10, if we had him in custody on 9/12. We'll never know, what we (USA) really knew of the impending attacks, until 2101; I'm sure the classified stuff has been classified for the standard 100 years.

All I really want is to see the country become a safer place; a place where we can all go to work and not worry about how secure our jobs are, not worry about if they checked everyone's shoes as you board the plane, not worry about if we've got the right folks leading us. In some aspects I'm glad Bush made the moves he did, in others- I have had some concern. Anybody that won't support the military worries me too, so I don't know about Kerry either; I guess on election day- I'll choose the man that I think will be the greater of two non-stellar choices.

It's just funny to me that in 2004 this country is still as divided as it was when the polls closed after the Nov 2000 election....

That's got to say something...

 

 

interesting that you think that taking a job that pays $28-40K is menial. Glad you don't vote blindly and will chose who you think is the better candidate but that comment above sounds pretty insulting. Not flaming you for it, just some perspective.
